Sorry, I don’t play on Xbox, didn’t know they changed their currency. Out of curiosity, shouldn’t your MS points convert back to the amount you bought it for? And wouldn’t the DLC pack still cost $3.00?

Grubse

yes and no. The value of microsoft points are the same as when you put the code in so if you buy the code for 30 USD you get 30 USD in game. but the thing is me in sweden a Micro DLC costs 6-7 USD while in the us 3 USD

really, you have to purchase extra load slots, when every single last call of duty had 10 for free.

GinsuVictim

Black Ops ][ is to blame for selling us extra slots first.

Siftblade of Rivia

They at least gave you the default 10, they just gave you 90 more slots. This one gives you a maximum of 6 per character, then you buy the pack to get the standard 10.

GinsuVictim

I agree, I’m just saying they set a precedent for being able to sell it, then IW took it a step too far by REMOVING slots to sell us later.

ORB1T4L

Blame Activision, not Treyarch.

Chris Mason

You wouldn’t be saying that if IW did it first. 🙂

ORB1T4L

I don’t give a fuck who did it first. All I say is that it’s Activision that takes the decisions, not the devs. One of the many reasons why the original IW team got pissed.

Chris Mason

Then you are one of the few people here that doesn’t fall victim to the CoD Disorder. Cheers.

ORB1T4L

CoD Disorder haha never thought about that 😀 Cheers

Chris Mason

The clinical name is Post Traumatic New Call of Duty Disorder. There are dozens of people here who have symptoms.

HenryDF

1) You have to? Nope, they’re completely optional.

2) I guess you’re still unfamiliar with the concept of a Squad. In previous games, you were one soldier with 10 classes. In Ghosts, you are 10 soldiers with a maximum of 6 classes per soldier without the bonus pack (a total of 60 classes), or with the bonus pack you have a maximum 10 classes per soldier (a total of 100 classes). So you have 60 for free in Ghosts, and 100 for $2.

Baldmanz_RAGE

You are both right and wrong. Having a squad of 10 means nothing when you can’t switch between them during a game. Who cares if you have a possible 60 slots when during any given game you can only use the six that your one character has available. But you are right, HenryDF, you don’t have to buy them. Micro transactions are taking away from the thrill of unlocking stuff in the game. It is pretty cheesy for IW and activision to cut things that were established in previous titles just to have people pay for them after the game comes out.

TheShadowReaper

yeah, like you cant cover all of your possible viable loadouts in 6 custom classes slots. you’re being a retard and ofc wrong.

GinsuVictim

You can’t cover everything in six classes.

HenryDF

I can effectively cover everything in four classes, let alone six.

Class 1 – SMG with speed perks

Class 2 – AR with speed and stealth perks

Class 3 – Sniper with stealth and awareness perks

Class 4 – LMG with resilience and awareness perks

GinsuVictim

I need a class for Dom, S&D/S&R, dealing with campers, FFA, etc. I don’t like messing with the classes I already have because they are set the way I want them. Sometimes I want a clone of a set, only one without optics and one with, so I can switch mid-game when needed. More options during a game is not a bad thing.

HenryDF

It’s not a bad thing, and I will always run six classes simply to add more flexibility, but it isn’t impossible to run off less than six classes.

No you’re just fucking dumb. Why would they release a patch that fixes problems in the game in a month? Clearly on the Screen it says PS3/PS4 specific updates. They will give us the update but none of the personalization packs

I hope you’re not calling me out as being dumb other wise I’m going to have to fucking slap you! – I was referring to the Micro Packs!

The Pope

thats the customisation which is out in a month, not the patches…

Siftblade of Rivia

Yeah, I accidentally read “pack”, lol.

Simon Ghost Riley

Actually they will come in 5 days Feb 25 most likely because when the festive pack was released on Xbox platforms, it came on the rest in 5 days.

Siftblade of Rivia

Oh my bad, for some reason I read it as “pack.”

Simon Ghost Riley

what is in the “Avatar Uniform” Section in the store right below “Customization Packs”?

thebulky1cometh

Improvements to spawns on several maps? I’ll believe it when I see it.

Andrew

Coolz

Gon

I am getting really tired of the company tbh they just money grabbing now!

This game is worse than any other call of duty ie: shit graphics, gameplay, guns, killstreaks, perks, the ps4 upgrade thing dont fuckin work so u cant get the freefall map and other bonuses theyve removed 2 great games in demolition & hardpoint and then they come up with great customize your player but unless you play pro u cannot unlock fuckall and on top of all that it take 100 games of 50+ kills to go from level 1 to 15-20 its SHIT!

Ed

i actually like this game. i disagree with most of what you said, other than them taking out some good game modes like demo, headquarters, and capture the flag. i guess hardpoint, as well. there isn’t a truly good objective mode, other than dom.

the freefall map thing fixed itself for me. i just noticed this. i don’t know when this happened. i hate that map, though. lol. i’ve never played a full game on that map, i hate it that much.

Gon

Where my comment gone?

ORB1T4L

1.6Gb for that ?

Baldmanz_RAGE

Micro transactions are suppose to be things that don’t give an advantage to a player between themselves and other people who don’t want to spend money. Extra slots is a game changer for people’s loadouts. An extra 4 slots(per squad member) is a game changer, allowing someone to have 4 more choices than someone who only has the initial 6. Very shitty business practices IW/Activision!!!!!

chris

no its not I always switch my classes to different guns in the pre game lobby

Ed

6 is plenty to face just about any situation.

CM_Drunk123

Infinity Ward is doing a great job fixing the game. Anyone that remembers the MW3 treatment they gave to the community knows that they’ve improved a lot. Everything is being fixed.

Ryumoau

It might sound weird but i always get excited whenever i see a new patch released. Reading the patch notes always makes me feel like the game is getting better and improving more. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn’t, but its still nice to see them trying.

Edwin Cortez

Why put customization characters if 90% of players will continue to use their ghillie bitch suit…

K.E.M

why is this a problem?

shanafan

“All platforms”? Wii U didn’t get this patch – I don’t think at least. We have been told “within a few weeks”

SoulTaker

Does anyone know if you need to use squad points on the extra slots pack? Would be very fucking stupid if you have to pay 2$ for it and it to be locked till you use squad points.

Jake DeMarco

No, they were automatically unlocked after purchasing the extra slots.

SoulTaker

Thanks !

MrJDGuns1

FYI it is not released on ps4 yet at least in the UK.

Tony Rambo

I’m still waiting for the day that they release a patch for PC to fix the crappy performance…they have destroyed PC players this year and this is why Ghosts reaches 5k players at max now…

Kenneh

I’m on PS3 in US EST, and i still don’t have the patch on the 21st

ElseAndrew

No patch for PS3 in the UK.

Michael

I got one question for whoever answers this comment. What’s up with the riot shield patch they did? I know that when you see someone in third person with the riot shield that it covers your body when throwing an explosive and protecting you from gun fire. Did they fix that so it doesn’t cover you no more and your exposed or am I wrong? I wanna know cause my ghost disc doesn’t read no more.

nik

After buying the extra classes dlc, do you still have to then unlock them with squad points as you do loadout 4,5 and 6?
